One Layer Trees


My favorite set, Lovely as a Tree came through for me again.  I had a request for some masculine cards, mainly get well or sympathy.


Then when I saw the One Layer Wednesday challenge was to use a bare tree, everything came together.

 Jennifer was very specific about not having any leaves, flowers, needles, nada.  Just a plain tree.  Well this stamp has several plain trees.  I don't know if having more than one will count against me or not.  It is a one layer card with no embellishments.

I scored a frame around the trees then used the Basic Black Marker over the scoring.  To do it again, I wouldn't bother with the scoring.  I'd just outline it.

I also did one on River Rock.


I think this one could be used as a get well card or a sympathy card.

I stamped the trees on both cards with VersaMark and embossed them with Black Embossing Powder.  I embossed the sentiments too.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Lovely as a Tree, Close a Memory (card 1), Sincere Salutations (card 2)
Ink:  VersaMark
Paper:  Crumb Cake (card 1), River Rock (card 2)
Accessories:  Black Embossing Powder

Enjoy,
Bonnie

    Thank you so much for sharing these cards.
    I needed a sympathy card to send tonight and was stressing over what would be appropriate when I saw your post. A happy coincidence as this set just arrived today.
